Rise Of The World's Overlord 23. It's nothing personal.
Chapter 23 The moment Liam saw the black sedan which was packed behind him, he let out a sigh and his hand immediately went into his hair. He was yet to recover from the saga of the previous day but here it was again. Jake, who seems to have an idea of who owned the car, was leaning forward with his hands tucked into his pants. On his face was a slight frown as he wondered what was going on. A few minutes later, Naya stepped out of the car, wearing a bright smile on her face. In contrast to her dishevelled look the previous day, she looked ravishing, coupled with her elegant outfits. Ignoring the others who had their gaze fixed on her, she turned towards Liam and with a commanding tone, she said, “Get in.” Liam scoffed at her words as a frown crept into his face. He was annoyed because of the tone she had used in speaking to him. “Come on.” She said when he wouldn't budge and at the same time stepped aside so he would climb into the car. Still wearing his frown, Liam walked tow
Rise Of The World's Overlord 24. They had a kiss...
Chapter 24Taken aback for a moment, Liam didn't say anything, instead he was staring back at her with a raised brow. “Yeah, you heard me.” She affirmed. “Why? Is all these necessary?” He asked, displeased with what was happening. “We already have our marriage certificate, what more is there to prove that we are couples?” He groaned.“Pictures, we don't have pictures together. How then are we going to prove that we are couples.” She countered. Chuckling lightly, Liam turned his head to the side as he bit his bottom lips. Everything was happening so fast leaving him in a daze. “What is the issue now? Is it about your time? Fine! We’re going to spend just two hours out there.” “Indeed.” “Believe me this time around. It was my family who made me go back on my words the previous time. I keep my words and I uphold them.” She rapped. “I don't take pictures.” I snapped at her, returning his gaze back to the window. Naya in turn rolled her eyes and then faced the window as she sulked
Rise Of The World's Overlord 25. "Stop acting weird"
Chapter 25When they wouldn't come into an agreement, the photographer walked up to them and with his hands crossed on his chest, he asked, “Is anything the matter?” “Not at all.” Naya replied, flashing him a smile and immediately he turned around to leave, she grabbed Liam's arm, “Stop acting weird.” Once again, Liam had no choice but to succumb into respecting her decision. “What are you guys doing? I know you're shy but you need to be sensual okay.” The photographer yelled, taking his camera off his face. “Sensual?” Liam asked, turning in his direction. Not wanting anything that would give them away, Naya pulled him to herself and this time around, she initiated the kiss. At the end of the photo shoot, they gathered all their belongings and then paid for their photos before taking their leave. Now sitting at the back of the car, Liam yawned but Naya, who had keen eyes, saw it and so she leaned towards him. With her brow titled, she asked, “Are you hungry?” Unable to keep it
Rise Of The World's Overlord 26. Breaking the silence.
Chapter 26Immediately he climbed out of Naya’s car, he flagged down a taxi, urging the chauffeur to speed off so she wouldn't have the chance to try talking him into accepting her decision. A few minutes into the drive, he turned around and when he didn't see the black sedan, he relaxed only to return his attention to Rose. He knew she was going to ask where he had been since the previous day and also about the bills which were now settled. At this point, he had nothing to say to her and so he was shifting uneasily in his seat to the extent that the chauffeur noticed it but before he could raise the issue, he scoffed at him. On reaching the hospital, he paid his fare and then began to walk hurriedly into the hospital. When he got to the ward, he was about to push the door in when a nurse walked up to him. Arranging her glances, she looked over him before asking, “Who are you?”That was the exact question Liam had wanted to ask but since she asked first, he had to give her a resp
Rise Of The World's Overlord 27. I had a really long day!
Chapter 27.When he had finished propping Rose to get some rest he swirled around but before he could take a step, she held onto his hands. “Are you leaving already?” She asked, peering at him. “No.” he replied with a chuckle as he used his free hand to comb through his hair. When Rose wouldn't let go of his hand, he crouched beside her and then began to run his fingers on her arm, trying to soothe her. “I just wanted to take a walk outside the ward.” “And then you will leave only to return three days later.” She scowled. She didn't want Liam to leave her in the ward all alone, which explains why she was acting up. “I won't. Don't worry, I will stay here until after breakfast tomorrow.” “Really?”“Uhm…” Nodding towards the sofa, he said, “I want to rest my head. I had a really long day.” “Sure.” She replied positively and then let go of his hand. Immediately he fell on the couch, he shut his eyes and that was how he remained until the next morning. “Just a few minutes past tw
Rise Of The World's Overlord 28. Emotionally drained...
Chapter 28. The journey of going to meet with his mother took more than half an hour. Though exhausted, he didn't say it out, he had to bear since he was curious to learn about his family. Considering the luxury vehicle, he was expecting the cars to head towards one of the most popular estates or the area where the elites in the society lives but instead they skidded into a dirt road. “What's happening here?” He asked with his eyes almost bulging out. He didn't want to believe that they had deceived him only to end up kidnapping him when he fell for their trap. At this moment, the only thing on his mind was Rose who was still lying on the hospital bed. He was scared knowing that if anything eventually happens to him, then it would be tough on Rose too. “We are heading to our destination.” The leader replied. Still trying to wrap his head around the current situation, Liam began to fiddle with his fingers as he stared straight ahead. He was praying and hoping that they weren't u
Rise Of The World's Overlord 29. Lost in wonder?
Chapter 29.When the ladies disappeared behind the door, his mother held his hand and then made him sit beside her, intertwining her fingers with her. Instead of his mind running with different ideas like usual, Liam felt a wave of calmness washing through him. It was as if he had known her for a long time and they were just reuniting after being separated for a while. About fifteen minutes later, one of the ladies returned and she did a curt bow, she said, “The table is set for lunch.” Holding his hand, his mother rose and then pulled him up. With her gaze fixed on him, she said, “Let's go have lunch.” “Yeah.” He replied with a nod and together, they made their way towards the dining room. Once again, Liam couldn't help but marvel at the sight of the dining room. Since he didn't have ample time in taking in the appearance of the living room, he decided to take in that of the dining room. Looking around with his hands clasped together whilst taking careful steps, he couldn't hel
Rise Of The World's Overlord 30. After a lengthy silence...
Chapter 30.For a while, no one said a word. While Liam was waiting for a response to his question, she was drumming her fingers against the table as she thought of the best response to give to himAfter a lengthy silence, she cleared her throat to get his attention and when she had it, she said, “Right here in this city, we have some clean and surface businesses and fortunately most of the people here have no idea on who your father is.” “Oh… I see.” He mumbled as he smacked his lips. He wanted to ask about the business they owned but since he didn't want to be forward, he restricted himself, his gaze fixed on her. Suddenly, he pulled the album towards himself, and using the screen of his phone, he began to compare and contrast his features with that of his father. He was an exact replica of him that explains how she was able to find him after twenty years. Pushing the album aside, he turned towards her with his hands still clasped together. “You recognized me even after twenty

262. The End.
Six months later… The county had returned to normalcy after a thorough reform was put in place. To honor those that had made it happen, a mass meeting was organized where all members of the country were invited to be a witness to. Tyler Greene, the newly appointed President, was present in the mass meeting, being an icon in the revamped version of the country. His face was brightly marked with excitement, as he left the smile on his face and was distributing it to the citizens, who were seeing him. They had come in their masses as they wanted to witness the occasion first hand."First, I'll formally announce the reason for his honorable, reasonable and democratic meeting." Tyler started, his voice cool at first, accompanied with the sound of his laughter. "We all know about the change in the course of events in this country and those who made it happen.." Tyler spoke with clear gladness and couldn't hide it. Tyler's vice was beside him, holding a thick colored banner in his han

261. It's all in the past.
Daniel's voice was loud, as he kept making gestures with his hands. He was seated with his friends, conversing with them about the current news that spread around the country. Suddenly, someone rushed into their midst and exclaimed, "I heard another news…" "What's that, boy?" Daniel said, his voice breaking confidently, as if he would not be shaken by Liam's dealings. "Tell me, what's the news?" "The deal you made…" the boy started, but as soon as Daniel realized it was about a deal, he took the boy to a side to continue their talk in whispers. "The deal you strongly made and stamped with Karl had been released and broadly spread!" "What deal?" Daniel questioned him out of shock, and was rubbing his face until he stopped, as asked the boy again, "I don't get you. What deal?" "The chip infusion." The boy replied, his voice lighter as soon as he sensed anger in Daniel's voice."What!" Daniel reacted, as he nearly collapsed. "You know what? Just run away!" "To where?" The boy ask

260. What's the news?
Alaric had gone back to the operating room, and was still in bed. Fortunately, the surgeon realized he was all right. Alaric was totally healed, but he happened to have lost his memory. His constant surrender to Karl was all robotic. He was later brought from the operation room to a ward, on instruction that he needed to rest. "Hello?" A surgeon asked him. "What do you feel now?" "Feel what?" Alaric returned, his voice clear but light. "What do you mean?" "Oh, I know you're just coming back to normalcy…" the surgeon said, turning to his colleagues. "Do you think he is totally okay?" "Yeah," another surgeon responded, walking up to Alaric to check on him. "I think we should seek the attention of the senior surgeon, so he can see him." "Is that necessary?" The first surgeon questioned in return, holding her lips as she smiled. "Well, you can. At least, he is all right." Soon, the senior surgeon was around. He turned to the first surgeon and whispered to her ears, "I hope no chi

259. "Take this call!"
Kaylan didn't perform less than she was asked to do. She had spread the news of Rodriguez's illegal dealings vastly. Liam had ordered the release of the article which contained almost everything about Rodriguez and Karl. Rodriguez had felt comfortable with Karl's soothing words, continuing his illegal business with Karl became easy for him that he had no remorse, and even hid his fears about any form of leakage. "How far have you gone with the task I gave you?" Liam asked Kaylan, his voice deep but clear, an expression of his excitement. "In what state could the biotech company be, right now?" He mused. "I've forwarded the news to my team." Kaylan replied, returning a clearer tone in her own voice. "It will reach the masses easily that way…""I'll prove to Karl that I can thwart his schemes and nullify all his tricks." Liam chuckled, his voice making him sound like a villain and threatening Karl's attitude as though he was present. "Exactly, Liam." Kaylan responded in agreement.

258. I have evidence...
To spice up their plans, Liam had mailed a flashdrive to Rodriguez. The flash drive contained all the information they had gathered about him and Karl. Rodriguez made up his mind not to return the flash drive as he had a conclusion that something important was attached to it and so he was curious to find out the content. With that he made his way back to his office and as the Chief Justice he sat behind his imposing mahogany desk in the room.His eyes were fixed on the small, sleek flash drive that had been tossed on the table. The audacity of Liam to think of doing this hit him but he smiled while the question popped in his mind.Who did he think he was, trying to blackmail him?What was on his mind?Curiosity getting the better of him, Rodriguez inserted the drive into his computer and waited as the files began to load. Suddenly, the screen flickered to life, revealing an array of documents and recordings. Rodriguez's eyes widened on seeing the images which had himself includ

257. A risk we must take.
Madam Aurelia began walking in circles inside the living room as thoughts of what they were going to do next consumed her thoughts. She was still recovering from what she had seen in the file that Dave had brought, and the evidence was sickening. There was no doubt as to whether Karl and Rodriguez were crooks, and should they manage to expose them, it would definitely influence the outcome in their favor.Liam walked into the room, “Did you manage to find anything good among the papers?” He inquired, looking eager and hopeful.“Yes.” Madam Aurelia replied, gripping the folder firmly. “There are records of money movement as well as transactions which are quite illicit. If we conduct this campaign in the proper manner and present the right audiences with this evidence, the extent of Karl and Rodriguez’s dealings… It would be interesting corruption news that will come to light.”“Then we have no time to waste.” Liam affirmed in his stern tone. “Whatever this information gives us, they

256. This is perfect!
Liam stepped out of Tyler Greene’s office with a heavy heart, blaming himself for keeping his expectations high. He had wanted a better answer than that. However, Tyler’s indecision was a cause for concern. Time was running fast and voices of opposition against Karl were still weak. During the drive home, Liam found himself troubled. Would Tyler really lend his support for the cause? Or was he simply yet another hindrance in their efforts? He needed to collect his mind and think of a way out but he was too worried to even think properly. Instead of heading to him, Liam headed to the hotel to meet with Madam Aurelia who sat in the living room in the living room on his arrival. Her face was solemn, though she appeared to be happy with his arrival. “How did the meeting with Tyler go?” she asked, concern evident in her tones.“It didn’t go as well as I hoped.” Liam admitted, ruffling his hair. “He is not willing to take any actions against Karl, and I am afraid he has no nerves f

255. We need to strategize...
Liam stood still only to start pacing about because he was restless. He began to plan what step to take after Alaric's revelation. He was desperate to put an end to Daniel and Karl but he didn’t know how to go about it. He felt like an ill-fated knight who had lost everything; the very thought of Harrison now felt as if it was a heavy stone placed over him.Madam Aurelia was seated on the table sorting some papers. “We need to strategize on how best we are going to eliminate Karl.” Her tone was firm although not loud. “It is not enough to just wait and see what he intends to do next.” She added, casting him a glance. “Of course I understand,” Liam answered and twirls his hair with his fingers. “But what can we do? There is too much influence and too many people surrounding him.”At this point, Giovanni dashed into the living room, his eyes darkened as he looked around, “Liam!” he shouted – gasping for air. “Daniel and Karl are up to something. We must hurry before it is too late.”

254. This is very bad.
Alaric felt dejected in that small dingy room as he was at a stand still. He found himself strapped to a chair with metal rings cutting deep into his wrists. On the other side of the room, Xavier was strutting around confident with a sneer on his face. “Look at you now, Alaric ” Xavier said as he put his hands on his hips and laughed. “Formerly you had stature, nowadays you are just a flat back guy. What do you think about it?”Alaric turned his gaze toward him, internal rage reflected on his face. “You think this is a joke? You’re a mere puppet in Karl’s shadow. You will realize that one day.”Xavier let out another laugh. “Karl is top management. You would have done better staying with him. Instead, you went soft and turned the other way, and now look what this has led you to.”“Break all the connections with Karl.” Alaric spoke in a strained tone. “He’ll drain you dry. You will end up exactly like me.”Xavier shook his head but his grin had gone away. “You do not get it. This is
